Main Menu — Made it possible to start a solo game and continue it in multiplayer with your friends. Tools Menu — Using the Playtest button, you can launch a single POI as a playable map and immediately see the result of any changes.

These in-game UI changes have also been done: The character screen now has a new primary stats tab and a secondary stats tab to see even more information about your character and the buffs that are affecting him.

New Journal tips will be marked with an orange icon and flash when you unread journal tips. The skills menu has been redone with major attributes, perk categories and nested perks underneath.

It feels much more like a skill tree. New Creative Block Shapes Over new blocks, shapes and decorations have been added. Land Claim Improvements You can only have one active land claim block but the claim area is much larger.

Claim blocks are cheap to craft and repair. Placing another will instantly deactivate but not destroy your previous one.

The claim area prevents zombie respawn. Noises have decay so pounding repeatedly or repeatedly opening loot containers can build up the noise level Distance from an enemy determines how likely they are to see or hear you New Weapons and Weapon Improvements Weapons have a lot more individual stats.

Aiming a weapon will cost some stamina. Reloading a gun or drawing a bow will somewhat slow down your movement speed. Guns no longer auto-reload when the last bullet is fired.

We added a brand-new distant tree rendering system that renders imposter trees outside of the chunk distance. This is an amazing change that makes the world look vast.

This change makes the POIs always look grounded to their environment. Ports currently in use: Server code mods no longer use inheritance for events but rather register manually to events in the ModEvents class.

The only required class from now on is inheriting IModAPI and with an parameterless InitMod method that can be used to register events etc.

Allow multiple DLLs in a single mod so that third party libraries can easily be included still only one is allowed to contain an IModAPI descendant Renamed old event ChatMessage to GameMessage no longer handles actual chat messages and added a new event ChatMessage which handles global chat messages PlayerLogin event signature changed to be able to disallow the client from connecting return false and optionally specify a message string for the reason ConnectionManager methods to get ClientInfos were moved to ClientInfoCollection e.

Nearly all functions come from the right menu panels 4 categories and hot keys. Until then interested folks should go to our forums modding section and ask questions.

If you want to be able to save work you must launch it without EAC. Currently saved files are saved here: You can add you custom POIs to a random gen world by editing and adding a text entry in the rwgmixer.

See instructions in blocksA16PrefabConversion. Custom worlds can now be added by creating a heightmap etc. Just look at Navezgane for a full example.

Views Read Edit View history. We are extremely excited and proud of this build which was a huge team effort and we believe it truly is a new game.

Now without further ado, here is a complete list of Alpha 17 release notes! This streaming allows us to add nearly unlimited art content in future updates.

Join up with friends to form a Party which allows you to play together much easier. Do this by simply inviting a player to your Party from the players menu tab.

The system offers these benefits:. The player receives quests by simply talking to a Trader and looking at his offered jobs and accepting a quest.

The player can progress through the ranks of 6 quest difficulty tiers receiving better reward choices for each quest and for graduating each Tier.

With it comes a new quest reward system that gives the player XP, money and a growing choice of multiple rewards that can be modified by perking up into the new Daring Adventurer Perk.

The system supports many new and old quest types including:. The Navezgane world grew from 16 square kilometers to 36 square kilometers in size making it over double the size.

With that the terrain and the height have been given a full overhaul. The height is much more extreme and natural looking. You will not recognize the world.

We have also created many brand-new locations. These locations are all setup to support a variety of quests of 6 Tier difficulties.

All locations are working in Navezgane and Random Gen worlds. Over new locations and counting. Some of these include:. Enemies can do many things in this system including:.

Basically, anything with a quality can be modded. We removed the old tedious weapon part system to make room for this. There are already over sixty mods to augment your items of quality.

Here are a few item mod examples:. This re-configuration of the skills system centers around five main physical attributes of the player: The new system has endless possibilities.

The governing attributes and child perks are as follows:. Mechanically, the system requires the introduction of two new player stats: Properly notifying the player of active status changes and their effects is a current problem with our system.

We aim to correct this with a new notification system design. Under this new system, each status effect is assigned a severity: The notifications for each status effect are color coded accordingly and have additional behaviors based on the severity.

The entire legacy buff system has been rewritten for maximum flexibility and transparency between other systems. System designers can add buffs to anything in the game whether hidden or not allowing a multitude of buffs and debuffs.

Here are a few of the notable changes:. We added a new system that allows the player to compare items of quality of the same type in loot containers, inventory or worn to be compared.

Here is how it works:. The new system is more player data focused and has less data to manage. Much like horde heat maps players have their own heat signature value that goes up and down over time represented in a new UI stat at the bottom left, colored yellow with an eyeball icon.

This stealth UI stat bar is only shown when the player crouches. The fuller the yellow bar the more un-stealthy the player is being.

With it you can do many things including:. Opt in instructions can be found here:. We have partnered with over streamers from 27 countries.

Many will be streaming all weekend some starting tonight and giving away Free Keys. Check their channels for their upcoming weekend schedules.

These are being broadcast in many languages so scroll down to find yours. You can also read the release notes early here: Alpha 17 Official Release Notes Enjoy.

Many are speculating as to the future of 7 Days to Die on consoles and The Fun Pimps wanted to give the community an update. With no warning, we learned the news the same day as the gaming public.

Upon hearing the news, The Fun Pimps immediately terminated its license agreement with Telltale, which only allowed publishing rights on the console ports of the 7 Days to Die game.

So far, these efforts have failed. Like you, we are incredibly frustrated by what has happened. We are pursuing all options to regain our rights, including legal remedies.

We are deeply saddened by the news of the Telltale layoffs. Our hearts go out to our friends and partners over there. Rest assured The Fun Pimps are committed to the future of the 7 Days to Die Franchise and will continue to update and support 7 Days on every platform we can.

As more information becomes available TFP will be issuing statements. The application process is now closed.
